Abstract

A control circuit of a power converter includes a sensing circuit, a ramp signal generation circuit and a PWM circuit. The sensing circuit, coupled to an output circuit, provides a current sensing signal. The ramp signal generation circuit includes a transient circuit and a signal generation circuit. The transient circuit receives the current sensing signal and generates a variable reference voltage. The signal generation circuit provides a ramp signal according to the variable reference voltage. The PWM circuit provides a PWM signal to the output circuit according to the ramp signal. When current sourcing occurs, it continues for a first default time. A transient state during current sourcing continues for a second default time less than first default time. The variable reference voltage is changed from a default value to an adjusted value during the second default time and restored to the default value after the second default time.
